How to find cheap ski holidays?

Going on vacation at the right time

The key to saving money to prepare for a ski holiday? Flexibility! Organizing a last-minute ski holiday is the best way to lower the bill, since the various mountain players are looking to sell their offers at all costs. Also think about going to the mountains in the off-season! A departure in January or March, excluding school holidays, costs less. And why not take everyone on the wrong foot by going skiing in April or May? At that time, prices are lower and the slopes are deserted! In addition, with milder temperatures, you can more easily picnic between two descents:a good way to save money. Of course, if you know children, you have less flexibility in the choice of dates. In this case, remember to book your stay well in advance:you can find attractive prices!

Mountain:good deals for accommodation and ski passes

If your budget is tight, be sure to assess your needs before leaving. Do you really intend to ski morning and afternoon every day during your vacation? If the answer is no, adapt the package to your desires:there are day and even half-day packages. When buying your pass, look for good deals on the net or with your works council! As for accommodation, be smart to enjoy a cheap ski holiday. Couchsurfing or house swapping are two ways to travel for free. Youth hostels and campsites are also two atypical accommodations cheaper than a mountain chalet.
